Physiology Assignment Name Class Date Every organism has specific characteristics that make it ideal for living in the certain environment that it resides. For example‚ owls are birds that have adapted to hunting at night. They have many adaptations that allow them to be successful night hunters. One adaptation that the owl has involves their eyesight. The eyes of owls are sunk in. This allows an owl to collect and intensify light making it better able

Physiology of stomach:- For understanding approaches for gastro retention‚ it is essential to overview gastric physiology and gastric motility. The stomach is situated in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity immediately under the diaphragm. Human stomach has a resting volume of 25-50ml‚ which can distend upto1500ml following a meal. It is divided into 5 anatomical parts: a) Cardia:- First part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains cardiac spincter‚which is a thin ring of muscle

Anatomy and body type plays a significant role in determining the proper weightlifting strategy; there is no one weightlifting plan that would work for all members in a group‚ not only because people have different physical traits‚ but also different diet and living habits. There are three major body types: Ectomorph‚ endomorph and mesomorph. People who are described as Ectomorphs usually have lean muscle mass; they have small frames and do not gain weight easily‚ and therefore‚ have a slim appearance

Spirituality and the Physiology of Stress. Most Americans are suffering from moderate to high stress‚ with forty four percent reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years (Clay‚ 2011). Headaches‚ heart disease and high blood pressure have been associated with chronic stress. In the article Chronic stress may damage dna it states that Medical care professionals estimating that nearly seventy percent of doctor visits are directly related to ongoing stress (Sharf‚ n.d

The Physiology of Fitness – Acute and long term effects on the body Musculoskeletal System Response to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply During exercise your blood supply increases to your muscles‚ the reason for this is to keep them working and making sure that they don’t get tired too easily. Increase in Muscle Pliability During exercise your muscles will also become more pliable because as the muscles contract quickly they will generate heat‚ this then makes the muscles more pliable

Anatomy of a Mushroom - Analysis 1. The stalk is shaped like a cylinder and it is of a creamy beige color. The texture of the stalk is soft and smooth; however the composition of the stalk is arranged in lines. The cap is shaped like a dome and the bottom of the dome is flat. The area where the stalk and the cap combine is indented all around. The cap is also of a creamy beige color and the texture is soft and the composition of the cap is arranged in different layers that one can peel. The cap

Anatomy of Knee The knee is composed of 4 bones: the femur‚ tibia‚ fibula and patella. Every one of these bones are practical in the knee joint‚ aside from the fibula. The patellar tendon elongates from the inferior pole of the patella‚ as an extension of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle to the tibial tuberosity. The role of the patella tendon is to transfer the force of the quadriceps muscles‚ much like a rope around a pulley‚ as your knee straightens. (John Miller‚ 2015) Definition
